Esse trabalho teve como objetivo revisar os principais conceitos e cenários da Leishmaniose Visceral com o intuito de contribuir para o conhecimento sobre seus vetores e ciclo biológico, modo de transmissão, epidemiologia, medidas de manejo ambiental e controle vetorial, evidenciando a magnitude da enfermidade, assim como a importância da educação em saúde e das medidas de controle da LV. Foram utilizadas as plataformas Google Acadêmico, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), estudos distribuídos nos bancos de dados PubMed e Periódicos Capes, além de termos livres relacionados com o objetivo, como manejo ambiental e flebotomíneo. Foram ainda consideradas as referências desses artigos, bem como publicações oficiais do governo. Conclui-se que para a prevenção e controle da transmissão da Leishmaniose Visceral (LV), as medidas de vigilância epidemiológica realizadas pelos municípios necessitam de diferentes metodologias executadas de forma integrada, podendo assim contribuir de maneira mais efetiva no combate a enfermidade.
This study aimed to highlight the importance of health education for the control of VL (Visceral Leishmaniasis). They used the platforms Google Scholar, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Health Library (VHL), and studies distributed in the databases PubMed and Capes Journals with the keywords: Visceral Leishmaniasis, Health Education, Public Health and Vectors, in addition to free terms related to the objective, such as environmental education and sandflies. The inclusion criteria were language (Portuguese and English) and availability (full text). The bibliographic references contained in the works found were also used in this review, as well as the official publications of the Brazilian government, such as the Manual of Surveillance and Control of visceral leishmaniasis. It is concluded that a large part of the population does not know the vector, proliferation, and methods of control of VL, for this reason, implementing educational actions of health education is essential to increase the level of knowledge through information related to the disease, and thus also reduce other diseases of similar epidemiological characteristics.
